Re: Can NHRA survive without John Force ?
I see Force cars entered for Denver. Of course doesn't mean they neccesarily will be there.

Re: Can NHRA survive without John Force ?
And as a side note concerning the future, over the holiday week there were a couple of big dollar bracket races going on. California Bash and SFG 1.1 Million in Martin Michigan. Think there was 630 entries for SFG.
Was there a mention of lowering Stock entries allowed at a National event? Can NHRA survive without JFR or DSR.. Ron Ortiz U/SA I are good at counting.

Re: Can NHRA survive without John Force ?
They were entered in all races pre Covid-19. Everything’s changed now

Re: Can NHRA survive without John Force ?
How can they run the Denver nat event and the 2nd Indy race on the same weekend? I see that Antron Brown is entered in both races. That's going to be quite an accomplishment.
I thought that they cancelled the Denver race. I've heard that they won't have the Brainerd race unless they can open up the campground and the zoo. Without that I don't think they can't break even on the race. Doesn't look too good. Last edited by mnmaxwedge; 07-05-2020 at 08:45 PM. |

Re: Can NHRA survive without John Force ?
Top fuel will survive just fine without Force and Schumacher. If alcohol guys and small fuel teams felt they had a chance to win they'd show up to race.
Now NHRA is a different story. All those executives with big salaries would have to take a pay cut to make it work and reduce their bloated bureaucracy. That's probably not going to happen. Wouldn't it be great if NHRA moved out of California and landed in Indy and cut loose all of those "big shots" and marketing people who are worthless? Maybe then they'd have some money and a vision to keep them from continuing to circle the drain. |

Re: Can NHRA survive without John Force ?
Guess we’ll find out soon enough with the limited PRO show this coming weekend. DSR will be out there with 4 entries just in TF so there probably will be close to full fields JFR or not. But NHRA can’t make a go without a big gate. Saw the Denver track got sideways with the health department this weekend so the prospects for a big fan event in a month from now looks unlikely. My normally glass half full has been turned upside down I’m afraid.
